Thank you RatsmansWife, George and Rick. Since my OP, I found a mail service office located next to the American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook. I think they will accept and hold my shipments for pick up. We are also planning on shopping for other equipment while on St. Thomas. It will end up being thousands of dollars worth of 'stuff' that can all be unpacked and stowed. Can I avoid deal with BVI customs duty if I unpack and put into use all the new stuff before reentering BVI?
